Scientists have developed the first artificial muscles made from natural proteins that contract autonomously and consume chemical fuel.
Technology
Holey tubular zeolites!
Nanotubes made from sheets of zeolite promise to expand this material’s already extensive range of application.
Microrobots that can grow their own bones
A new material gives way to simple microrobots that take advantage of mineralization processes in the body to help in bone repair.
Intestinal patch delivered by wireless capsule
A magnetic, drug-delivering capsule precisely navigates the GI tract to heal gastrointestinal disease and injury.
Monitoring intra-abdominal pressure with new radar system
A non-invasive means of monitoring intra-abdominal pressure using a wireless radar system could save lives in the ICU.
A sprayable chemical sensor for better environmental monitoring
An innovative chemical sensor design could make environmental monitoring in the field more efficient and effective.
Self-repairing electronics on the horizon
Through a happy accident, researchers have identified a new self-repairing electronic material that could make sci-fi dreams a reality.
A skin-like optical sensor
External strain can be detected by the wavelength and intensity of this sensor’s light signal for improved detection and resistance to interference.
